Portraits of Barack and Michelle Obama are two of the most popular portraits on display at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, DC. Kehinde Wiley and Amy Sherald are the artists. Since their debut in 2018, attendance has doubled to more than two million visitors. In May of 2021 more will have the opportunity to see the paintings when they leave the museum walls to begin a year-long journey to Chicago, Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Atlanta and Houston.
